[64studio-users] Help: Tow X-Displays for the two svga-otput on a nvidia card ?!

[Winfried Ritsch]

Thanks for the answers,

I think, i didnt clearly define my needs, I know how to set up Twinview, but I 
want two X-server to have two X-Displays, one for the main application, the 
second for displaying the Gem-Open-GL always on top.

Using the Twinview always moves/places windows to the other display, which is 
on a beam I cant see at the stage and then I have to deactivate the Opgengl 
display of Gem to get to the controls, also the people in the auditorium sees 
them. So the question is how to get two X-servers for the two SVGA-Outputs 
running.
